Inline monitoring of structural quality and thermal conductivity of plastics in the hot extrusion process by means of infrared thermography

In a joint project called ""Sensoren und Auswertestrategien zur autonomen Überwachung von kontinuierlichen Kunststoffprozessen"" (KontiSens), the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT), the WKI, and partners from industry work on the development of sensors and evaluation strategies for the autonomous monitoring of continuous plastics production processes. The task of the WKI is to develop a monitoring technology based on infrared imaging for the production of insulating materials by hot extrusion.
